Description
Dark Science-Fantasy Paranormal Romance --- He was born on a battlefield; she was born in a lab. Trepidation is a dhampir, a living, breathing, blood-drinking teen, and tired of following his vampire mother and step-father around the world. Mara is the clone of a witch, raised on a remote ranch, and horrified to find herself pregnant without even knowing a boy. When Trip and his friends save runaway Mara and her brother from the witch-hunting Rowan, staying together is a rational choice. Mara finds in Trepidation a young man more used to being feared than loved. Trip sees Mara someone who understands what it's like to be different. Together, Trepidation, Mara, and their friends must face organizations who would slay witches or vampires, and Mara's creator, who wants her and the baby back! The very idea that a witch and a dhampir could potentially start a family is enough to cast Trip and Mara as the very limit of difference in human eyes: Saints of Evil. --- Rated 'M' for Fantasy and vampire-related violence, occasional strong language, and some scenes of sexuality. Warning: human experimentation. 2nd Draft. Cover by author, based on Dreamstime photo by Xcctfsi.
